You may recognise Yamaha as a trusted name for motorcycles but what if you’re more of a ‘piano’ rather than a ‘petrol’ head?
It’s the same story.
Yamaha are just as regaled for their instruments as they are for their motorbikes, with a Yamaha piano ranking as one of the most popular and reliable brands on the market.
Whether you’re new to playing, buying a small upright piano for the kids, or looking for a concert-worthy grand piano, you’ll find a wealth of choice from the Yamaha brand, with prices to suit all budgets. To find out more about Yamaha pianos, get in touch with the team.
Are Yamaha pianos suitable for beginners?
With an extensive portfolio of models – Yamaha upright pianos, digital pianos, grands, acoustics – there is a Yamaha for everyone, especially beginners. A great starter piano is the Yamaha U1 acoustic piano – perfect for entry-level playing but with plenty of capability as your playing skills develop.
Some people think it’s necessary to start with a Yamaha keyboard but you could go for a digital Yamaha piano, where you can control volume or use headphones – sparing others from the relentless sound of those early days of practice.
For help picking out the right Yamaha piano for your playing level, aspirations, and budget, get in touch.
